It's a Sin Songtext
von Paul Anka

When I look back upon my life
It′s always with a sense of shame
I've always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

It′s a, it's a, it's a, it′s a sin
It′s a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I′ve ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It′s a sin

At school they taught me how to be
So pure in thought and word and deed
They didn't quite succeed
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too


It′s a, it's a, it's a, it′s a sin
It′s a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I′ve ever been
Everywhere I'm going to
It′s a sin

Father, forgive me, I tried not to do it
Turned over a new leaf, then tore right through it
Whatever you taught me, I didn't believe it
Father, you fought me, ′cause I didn't care
And I still don't understand

So I look back upon my life
Forever with a sense of shame
I′ve always been the one to blame
For everything I long to do
No matter when or where or who
Has one thing in common, too

It′s a, it's a, it′s a, it's a sin
It′s a sin
Everything I've ever done
Everything I ever do
Every place I′ve ever been
Everywhere I'm going to - it's a sin
It′s a, it′s a, it's a, it′s a sin
It's a, it′s a, it's a, it′s a sin
